I am often asked for the "best" products, by school level or kids' age. Love to get everyone's inputs - Marc Prensky
NOTES:
**from Warren Buckleitner -- At Children's Technology Review we're also (obviously) asked this same question a lot, and we try our best to sell the answer, mostly in the form of a monthly publication and our "Top 100" lists. These lists are dynamic -- in other words they continually change based on the latest reviews. So this is a big topic for us, and we invest a lot of time and energy trying to systematically determine the "best" for each category.
